Provides “all risks” coverage (except those specifically excluded in the policy) on buildings and broad named-peril coverage on personal property, and is the most common package written. (2)The Texas Department of Insurance developed home insurance policy forms that are similar but not identical to the standard forms. In addition, due to the Texas Windstorm Association (which writes wind-only policies) classifying HO-1, 2 and 5 premiums as HO-3, the average premium for homeowners insurance is artificially high.

26 26 Recent Attacks on the Insurance Industry Why Are Critics Suddenly More Aggressive?

27 CFA’s Conclusion: The ‘Widow Penalty’ 12/01/09 - 9pm 27 “a change in marital status from married to unmarried (through divorce or the death of a spouse) can cause a woman’s auto insurance premiums to rise as much as 226%—suggesting a ‘widow penalty’ that CFA director of insurance Bob Hunter said in a press teleconference Monday with executive director Stephen Brobeck is ‘immoral and should be stopped at once.’”

28 12/01/09 - 9pmeSlide – P6466 – The Financial Crisis and the Future of the P/C 28 What’s Driving Attacks on the Insurance Industry? Recent Surge in Attacks is Associated with Income Inequality Debate in the United States  Attacks not confined to auto insurance (e.g., Workers Comp, Health)  Not confined to insurance (banks, lending in general, student loans) Politics, Economics, Regulation & Demographics Are Principal Drivers  CFA/CR and others (ProPublica) emboldened in current environment  Dodd-Frank Act stuffed with income inequality mandates and studies  FIO now studying auto insurance affordability; Wants to create index.  Definition of “fairness” is shifting CFA Has Been Able to Attack Certain Rating Factors Based on New Perception of Fairness (which is independent of actual risk)  EducationOccupationMarital StatusGender  AgeCredit ProfileLocation“Price Optimization” All of These Are Vulnerable to Attack in the Current Environment Infinite Number of Quotes Online  CFA Uses to Highlight Perceived Inequities

31 Property/Casualty Insurance Industry Investment Income: 2000–2015E 1 Due to persistently low interest rates, investment income fell in 2012, 2013 and 2014. 1 Investment gains consist primarily of interest and stock dividends. *2015 figure is estimated based on annualized data through Q3.

National Bureau of Economic Research (recession dates); Insurance Information Institute.http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/data.htm Yields on 10-Year U.S. Treasury Notes have been essentially below 5% for a full decade. Since roughly 80% of P/C bond/cash investments are in 10-year or shorter durations, most P/C insurer portfolios will have low-yielding bonds for years to come. U.S. Treasury yields plunged to historic lows in 2013. Longer- term yields rebounded then sank fell again. 12/01/09 - 9pm 33

34 12/01/09 - 9pm 34 Treasury Yield Curves: Pre-Crisis (July 2007) vs. June 2015 Treasury yield curve remains near its most depressed level in at least 45 years. Investment income is falling as a result. Even when the Fed begins to raise rates, yields unlikely to return to pre-crisis levels anytime soon The Fed Is Actively is Signaling that it Is Likely to Begin Raising Rates Later in 2015 but Only Very Gradually Source: Federal Reserve Board of Governors; Insurance Information Institute.

35 Net Yield on Property/Casualty Insurance Invested Assets, 2007–2015* The yield on invested assets remains low relative to pre-crisis yields.

Slack in the U.S. economy and falling energy prices suggests that inflationary pressures should remain subdued for an extended period of times Annual Inflation Rates (%) Inflation peaked at 5.6% in August 2008 on high energy and commodity crisis. The recession and the collapse of the commodity bubble reduced inflationary pressures in 2009/10 Inflationary expectations have slipped (due in part to falling energy costs) allowing the Fed to maintain low interest rates

The main shift over these years has been from bonds with longer maturities to bonds with shorter maturities. The industry first trimmed its holdings of over-10-year bonds (from 24.6% in 2003 to 15.5% in 2012) and then trimmed bonds in the 5-10-year category (from 31.3% in 2003 to 27.6% in 2012). Falling average maturity of the P/C industry’s bond portfolio is contributing to a drop in investment income along with lower yields.
